There is only one source for identifying the cancer and for the prognosis quoted in the first part of the above story. This is a person whom your reporter has very good reason to trust, but you should know that there is only one source so far; no other immediate confirmation. All sources asked for and were granted anonymity because to reveal their names could place them in danger or, at the very least cost them their positions.

There is only one source and all of them are in danger.

Dan types this "news" as he thinks it up. He could use a single editor, who would all think he's an idiot.

And when Chavez dies of cancer, which everybody on earth knows is imminent, Dan will tell himself and everybody who will listen, that he was first with the exclusive.

"This reporter has heard that reservations have been made in a place that's hotter, well, hotter than a Times Square Rolex. Frankly it's hotter than the hinges to the gates of Hell, hotter than the Devil's anvil because it is Hell. Well, you've heard the old saying, "Don't taunt the old dictator `til you've crossed the creek" but Chavez's deathbed is like a sauna--all he can do is wait and sweat. He's got his back to the wall, his shirttails on fire and the bill collector's at the door. He was laying all cattywhompus on ..." (redacted, earthy homilies go on for several pages)

Is Venezuela’s health care system so bad Chavez had to get treatment in Cuba? I despise commies but after watching my mom, dad and little brother die from cancer I hope he finds Jesus before it’s time to go.

Reporter’s note: “There is only one source for identifying the cancer and for the prognosis quoted in the first part of the above story. I cannot identify it right now because I just pulled it out of my butt.”
